The challenges of being a Nigerian,
Here's a deeper look at some of the challenges Nigerians face currently:


Security concerns: Violent crime like Boko Haram's insurgency in the Northeast, banditry in the Northwest, and inter-communal clashes cast a long shadow. This can make it dangerous to travel within certain areas and creates a general sense of unease. Farmers can't even go to their farms to farm because they are being harassed.
Economic strain: Nigeria has a large economy, but wealth isn't evenly distributed. High unemployment, especially among young people, and inflation that outpaces wage growth make it difficult to afford basic necessities. This can lead to frustration and social unrest.
Infrastructural hurdles: Une reliable power grids lead to frequent blackouts, disrupting daily life and businesses. Many roads are poorly maintained, increasing travel times and the risk of accidents. Access to clean water can be limited, requiring people to spend time and money hauling water or relying on potentially unsafe sources.
Political frustrations: Corruption and inefficiency are ongoing concerns. Some citizens feel the government isn't doing enough to address security issues, create jobs, or improve infrastructure. This can lead to a sense of powerlessness and a lack of trust in authority.

Conclusion
However, it's important to remember Nigeria's resilience. Many Nigerians are finding creative ways to cope with these challenges. The country also boasts a strong entrepreneurial spirit, a rich cultural heritage, and a close-knit social fabric that provides support during difficult times. Afrobeats have taken over the global scenes and is recognised because of the resilience of Nigerian, some of the renowned afrobeats artists from Nigeria are WizKid, Davido, Burnaboy etc.
Even in all adversity, Nigerians have pushed their individual levels to a point where there are noticed globally.
